Honduras Import Policy

Used vehicles must be less than seven years old. There is neither local production nor assembly of automobiles or trucks in Honduras. Licenses are not required to import a vehicle and there are no quotas. Duties on passenger vehicles are 30 to 40 percent depending on the engine size with vehicles having engines larger than 2000 ccs being charged the higher rate. Other commercial vehicles are assessed a 10 percent duty. Duties on automotive parts and accessories range between 10 and 20 percent of the C.I.F. price. In addition, there are taxes on all imported goods, including an 8 percent VAT and a 15 percent surcharge on the duty. Foreign exchange availability is limited.

Honduras adopted in 1993, the Central American Tariff System (SAC), an eight-digit tariff, based on the Harmonized Commodity Description that replaced the Nomenclatura Arancelaria Uniforme Centroamericano II (NAUCA). The SAC has been approved by Decree No. 222-92 of 10 December 1992.

Honduras is a member of the Central American Common Market (CACM), which also includes Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In theory, there are no duties for products traded among CACM members, although exceptions exist. In 1995, members of the CACM agreed to reduce and harmonize the common external tariff (CET) at zero to 15 percent for most products, but allowed each member to determine the timing of the reductions. In 2002, Honduras lifted tariffs on capital goods and raw materials (including those used for manufacture of pharmaceutical products and agricultural inputs) for those imports produced outside of the CACM. Additionally, tariffs on most non-CACM intermediate goods were reduced to 10% and final goods were reduced to 15%.

Under the Financial Balance and Social Protection Act, imports of ground motor vehicles over seven years old and passenger buses over ten years old are prohibited, except for those considered to be classic collectible cars. Imports of refurbished and right-hand drive vehicles are also prohibited

Important domestic and import tax changes were made under the Financial Balance and Social Protection Act, Decree No. 194-2002 of June 5, 2002. Among the most significant amendments is the duty assessed to the importation of automotive vehicles under tariff headings included in Chapter 87 of the Central American Tariff System (SAC), which was reduced to 15% and an elimination of the tariff based on engine size. VAT of 12% is also imposed (see below) except for trucks, tractors and cranes. A 10% selective consumption tax is applied on luxury vehicles

Ad valorem duties are levied on the CIF value of imported goods. In line with its commitments within the Central American Tariff System, Honduras applies the following m.f.n. rates on goods: 0% on raw materials, and capital goods not domestically produced; 5% on domestically produced raw materials and intermediate goods and capital goods; and 15% on finished goods. Yet the following products do not belong to the tariff reduction scheme: alcohol, automotive vehicles, textiles, and petroleum-derived products.

Internal Taxes Levied on Imports –

Value-added tax at the rate of 12% is levied on most goods

The sales tax (Impuesto sobre las ventas) governed by Decreto-Ley No. 24 of 20 December 1963, amended by Decree Law 135-94 of 12 October 1994, is levied at the rate of 15% on beers, liquors, brandy and other alcoholic drinks; cigarettes and tobacco products and its derivatives. The following goods are exempted from the payment of this tax: basic foods, milk, juice, purified water, fuel medicine, agrochemicals, agricultural machines and tools, handicrafts, household cleaning products, books, magazines and educational materials, and capital goods such as trucks, tractors, cranes, and computers

A selective consumption tax (Impuesto Selectivo de Consumo) ruled by Decreto No. 58 of 28 of July 1982 and amendments of the Congreso Nacional, is levied on some products that are considered non-essential, such as alcoholic beverages at 20%, cigarettes at 55%; it applies also on many luxury items as jewellery, whiskey, wine, certain type of vehicles, and petroleum products

Exporting from Asia can be tricky as auto exporters and car exporters are dime a dozen. The stereotype of used car salesman is universal and based on some truth. With the advent of Internet the crooks have come out of the woodworks to separate the innocent from their money, Thailand is no exception. Caveat emptor – buyer beware – maxim has been heeded by businessmen since the time of the Ancients but it is most relevant when all it takes is a DSL modem, a nerdy kit with some HTML skills to put together a website, some Images (Pics) taken at your competitor’s lots and you are in business. We have seen a parade of newbie auto exporters come in, offer great deals for a year or so perpetrating an elaborate Ponzi scheme and then disappear with millions of dollars of their customers very hard earned money. Will you trust a company that has been in business for 1 year or one that has been in business for 100 years and is well respected not only all over Asia but also beyond Asian boundaries. If someone offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not all new entrants are crooks but there are some who in their quest for the fast buck wants to cut corners at the expense of the customer. When you work with Jim you have the peace of mind to know that we have been voted Thailand’s most trusted dealership and Thailand’s most trusted auto exporter five years in a row and it is for this reason that we have over 80% of the auto exporting market share in Thailand.
